"Local" is typically a term used by stans on stan Twitter to describe people who aren't like them. Locals are the most basic, average mold of a human being, all clones of each other with no unique personality or qualities; they all listen to the most mainstream music and think it was written by God himself, think watching Netflix on a Friday night is a personality trait and quote Vines like they're bible verses.

You'll typically find locals at Starbucks taking pictures of their drinks, acting like fools in Target thinking it makes them quirky, or at a Drake concert because he, along with Migos and Cardi B, are the leaders of locals. Girls will be seen sporting a pound of makeup, a tight tank top with ripped jean shorts and Birkenstocks while the boys will be seen in a man bun, OBEY t-shirt and bermuda shorts.
"Why is this Drake song still being played on the radio? It came out like, 3 months ago!"

"Locals stream it at their beer pong parties, blame them"

A way to describe “basic” people from your area. Typically known to retweet generic/vague tweets from fake Drake and Post Malone twitter accounts because they think they’re “deep”. Generally tend to only stay in the town they’re from because they lack the potential or are afraid to branch out somewhere else.

local is a term stans use to describe basically people who arent like them. in a more specific definition, locals are people who jump on the badwagon trend-wise and think they are unique. locals think that they are woke because they retweeted a tweet about global warming but really thats it; they have no real opinion/arent educated about other things (at least most of them). easily identifiable by their basic brandy melville or tillys top and american eagle jeans or lulu lemon shorts, they tend to only buy stuff they see other people wearing. locals seem to copy trends that non-locals start. you might also find them on instagram with a “photography account” that only has badly edited sunset pictures or shallow DoF plant photos. they also have very basic music taste such as drake, post malone, rex orange county, and ariana grande. to summarize, locals are the new basic white girl that probably gave you a dirty look when you pronounced billie eilishs name wrong and love emma chamberlain.
stan: skdjsjjs im baby🥺
local: what? 😂😂

also:

person one: have you listened to rex orange county? i just started listening to them because all my friends did.
person 2: yea like 2 years ago i did jskdjs but then the locals kinda ruined it

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.

Pee Calculus

When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing pee calculus.
